I couldn't care less if they're 'impressed', they're perfectly entitled to form that opinion after testing it, but for $%^& sake if you're going to publish a 'review' or even just an 'opinion piece' of other peoples work, you owe it to them to have ACTUALLY TRIED IT.

LOL .. dunno, don't think I've ever used them .. IIRC I vaguely remember Google used to point me there every time I was having to search for WIndows software, but I never actually downloaded anything from there because it just 'looked' iffy.

Lazy reporting, yes for not updating the main article. However they do link to a changelog for Peppermint 10 detailing the actual current software etc. It's right there under 'What's new in Peppermint 10'

I'm not actually THAT fussed about it Zeb, I was pointing it out more for the humour (and a generalised poke at the way advertising has killed accuracy of the press) .. something tells me their Linux section is little read anyway.

I for one have never heard anyone say, hey I'm wondering what distro to try next .. must visit softpedia

Hiya Ghosty, welcome to the forum my mate

I'd kinda have to agree with Zeb, it's in English, and we read left --> right, the damage is done well before you get to the 'new' part. But really my point is really not about damage to us (which I doubt it does), as much as an obligation to their readers and advertisers. The entire thing was structured so for the least amount of work they could get the search engines interested (I found it by googling "Peppermint 10 Review"), to me it just screams "we don't care about readers, our primary goal is adding 'content' to build advertising space around" .. between that lazy rubbish, clickbait, and agenda driven political bias, sadly the way the press have pretty much all gone lately thanks to advertising money detracting from accuracy .. articles are no longer written with the reader in mind

If tomorrow we decided to get rid of lazy/politically biased/'fake'/opinion dressed as fact/advert driven news .. I'm afraid there'd be none left. What ever happened to simply reporting accurate facts and letting the user create their own 'truth'.

Okay soap boxing over
